My opinion as well ... I fear this will lead to problems and questions, why someone got more points for a week long stay at the Barclay but onle 2k points for a more expensive IC in Europe or Asia and will cause more frustration and annoyance. Splitting the earning structure into two different ways for the same brand depending on location and subsidary (IC alliance) is not really a good decision.
Call me naive, but maybe they will change the earning scheme for the rest later in the year ...
